But I also think the Greek System is nothing short of brilliant as it instills in to many young men the idea of brotherhood and teamwork that are vital skills to become a good person in future life. However this system is regrettably lacking in UK universities.
I was wondering that me being British, would i be even considered for a placement in a fraternity or would i get shunned away because I would be new to the culture.
In my last public exams I came fourth in my whole year group of about 200 teenagers this year, I play county field hockey which I imagine would be similar to someone playing for their state, i am also 12th in the UK for U18s tennis. With my high school I also participate in a lot of voluntary work where i go to a homeless shelter regularly and help in the soup kitchens. i consider myself to be a social person who gets along with everyone.
Thanks for any replies  |
At least in the South, being British is a plus in my opinion. Now if you were French, or some other European you might have more trouble but Brits are generally acceptable.
